info - i am going to be traveling and surfing the coast along peru, ecuador and i want to get into colombia. i was wondering how getting across the boarder from ecuador into colombia on the pacific side is, as well as crossing the boarder from colombia into panama`. i will be backpacking with my boardbag and any info regarding the boarders and the bus system (which will be my means of transportation) would be very helpfull..i have traveled and surfed in costa rica and the northern part of panama` on the caribbean side (bocas del toro).i could use some good tips and feed back from those who live in colombia and surf as well as those who have traveled in colombia...thanks...

Pull inside don`t be a pussy - Dear Alls

I`m Andrew Lea of Indiatlantic Florida, I live in Bogota with family. I must visit the Pacific as the wave potential is huge. I believe that there is a surf camp somewhere around the region. Surely, the bastards in the campo have no time for a travelling surfer with a sticker of Che on his board. Any advice would be gratefull as a spot devoid of Yankee pricks would be a God send. I have the whereabouts to start a camp if the interest is there, how much do I have to pay the local guerras?

I Love You Colombia - Despite the hazards, which are calculated risks, I Love you unconditionally. One day you will be free from the parasites which now host off your countrymen. Never have I felt in danger within your borders. To you I will return time and time again. Do not listen to those who would drag your name through the dirt, for they do not know you. Forever your surf will pound the shore and generations will ride your waves evermore. You will prevail victorious and shine unto the world. I am a Gringo de pura sepa, mi vida es Colombia!!!!!

Interesting points... - Very interesting discussion. In summary, nobody has to go if they don't feel like, just understand, Colombia is not only what you see in the news... Just read all the messages in this site and you won't find a single message of a gringo that has been in Colombia saying they didn't like it and that they won't go back.. That to me tells a lot...

Alright gringo... - Points well taken. Cali would be a heavy place to visit. I'm sure if I went there and was talking to people and walking around, it could get very intense. Yet, there's only one way to find out- go! Wish me well, and maybe I'll find some empty surf!!!
